Window docking area and floating window docks
By default, the window docking area is located in the upper half of the Vegas Pro workspace. This area allows you to keep frequently
used windows available but out of the way while you are working with a project. Windows can be docked next to each other,
subdividing the docking area, or they can be docked in a stack in the window docking area or in a separate floating docking
window. When stacked, each window has a tab at the bottom with its name on it. Click the window’s tab to bring it to the top.
• To dock a window, drag it to the docking area.
• Drag the handle on the left side of a docked window to remove a window from the docking area and float it.
• To prevent a window from docking when you drag it, hold the Ctrl key.
• To expand a docked window so it fills the docking area, click the Maximize button ( ). Click again to restore the window to its
previous size.
• To remove a window from the docking area or a floating dock, click the Close button ( ).
